The day after

You spend countless days, hours and minutes prepping and planning for your wedding day, but what about the day after?

Build in an extra day after your wedding day before you leave for your honeymoon. Trust me you'll be glad you did.

Spend the morning at brunch with your bridal party, close friends, family and out of town guests. You can encourage your guests to bring a dish to share or meet at a local restaurant.

Pick a location that can accommodate all of your guests. To make it convenient you could have it at the hotel restaurant.

Make it a casual gathering so your guests will feel comfortable wearing their traveling clothes. And, stay there for a couple hours to accommodate early and late risers.
